#01 "Batman"

One of the examples of flat design provided in the PowerPoint going over the different graphic design styles throughout history, was a reimagined version of the Iron Man movie poster created by Moritz Adam Schmitt.  While the Iron Man poster was part of his "Marvel" collection,  I found this reimagined version of Batman under his "DC" collection.


Just like the Iron Man poster, this Batman piece is another great example of the flat graphic design style.  The color palette is simple sticking to only a few colors along with different shades of each. The negative space from the background is utilized to form half of Batman's mask.  Other than the yellow circle for Batman's emblem, only straight lines are used throughout the design.  There is no depth to the piece other than the signature drop shadow that can be seen in many flat graphic design pieces.  The font used to spell "Batman" is a very simple sans serif which ties in perfectly to the modern, geometric feel of the poster.
